Data Concealment in Carrier Files Using LSB Steganography Technique

Resource Overview

This program implements Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography to embed secret data within carrier files, demonstrating practical information hiding through pixel manipulation in digital images.

Detailed Documentation

This program implements data concealment by embedding confidential information into carrier files using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique. The algorithm works by modifying the least significant bits of pixel values in image files (typically BMP or PNG formats) to store secret data without perceptibly altering the carrier's appearance. Key implementation aspects include reading carrier file headers, converting secret messages to binary format, iterating through pixel components (RGB channels), and replacing LSBs sequentially while preserving file structure. This method demonstrates practical steganography by maintaining carrier file functionality while enabling covert data transmission through imperceptible digital watermarking.
